Chapter 2: The Girls (And the Boys)

(Skylar's POV)

My eyes fluttered open. I looked over at Max's bed. He was still asleep. I crawled out of bed and stretched, then quietly walked over to the couch and slumped down on it. But I heard a knock at the door. Forgetting that Max had told me to be quiet because he was sneaking me in, I opened the door.

There stood a tall, cute guy with black hair, jeans, and a plain navy blue tee. It was too late to "be quiet" now.

"Uh....Hi." I stuttered. He looked a little surprised to see me. "I-I'm Skylar."

"Jerome." He said. I shook his hand. Then I heard Max waking up behind me. I gave a squeak of nervousness, but I still hadn't let go of Jerome's hand. He let go quickly when he heard me. "S-sorry," he said, embarrassed.

"No, no! It wasn't you. You didn't do anything wrong." I told him quickly. I heard Max walk up to me.

"Skylar! What are you doing? I told you not to interact with anyone so Fred doesn't find out." He was really angry.

"I'm so sorry Max! I heard him knock at the door and you were still asleep and I forgot to "be quiet" so I answered the door and I didn't want to be rude and just shut the door in his face and......" I explained hastily, but was interrupted when Max clamped his hand over my mouth to shut me up.

"Sshh. I forgive you." He said. Then threateningly to Jerome: "You had better not tell Fred about Skylar!"

"No worries dude! Your secret's safe with me!" and Jerome walked away. I waved good-bye. He probably didn't see it though. But I saw something. Someone actually. Fred.

"Max! Max!" I whisper-yelled to warn him. He didn't hear me. Fred came closer. And saw me.

"Max! What heck is Skylar doing here? I thought I made it clear that this house is boys only!" Fred yelled.

"Fred!" he yelled mockingly, "I thought it was clear that my girlfriend can stay with me!" I'm not his girlfriend. We're just friends. I thought that was clear. OOOh, Notch. This could get ugly.

"Skylar can stay with the girls." With that, Fred pointed out the window at an equally large spruce base. I bet Max is wondering how he could have missed that. "Let's go."

Fred grasped my wrist rather tightly and pulled me out the door. Max was right behind him, protesting. Fred dragged me to the door of the base and pushed me in. A very familiar looking girl saw.

"Skylar!" she called. I recognized the voice immediately. It was Amber's.

"Amber!" She ran and hugged me. Ameli walked down some stairs. I recognized the panda-ear hat.

"Hey Skylar!"

"Yello!" I was released from the hug and ran to Ameli, gesturing a hug. She shook her head no as if the decline my hug.

"Guys! What's going on down there? Is skydoesminecraft here?! OMG OMG OMG!" I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. A girl with wavy red hair, a short skirt and a hot pink shirt came running down the stairs. Her face dropped when she saw it was just me. The girl sadly trudged back up the stairs.

"That was Hope, the ultimate fan-girl." Ameli told me.

"Hey everyone." A door flung open from the right side of the room. We looked over there. Another girl with short blond hair and a mess of hair accessories stepped out. She wore jeans and a purple shirt with a flower drawing on it. "I'm Tanya. What's your name?" Tanya looked at me for the answer. 

"I'm Skylar. Fred's making me stay here. Have any extra rooms?"

"Sorry. All booked up. But I'll help you convince this Fred character to let you stay where ya wanna. Why's he making you stay here anyway?"

"That house is apparently boys only." I pointed to the other base.

"Oh that's great. You can take Brian!"

"Brian?" I asked. As if on cue, a boy dressed as Steve (the default Minecraft skin) stepped out.

"You called?" That earned a giggle from Tanya. 

"Yep. You and Tanya gotta convince Fred to let me stay over there." I pointed at the other base. "And...uh....Brian. You have to stay there too. It's "boys only" I only wanna stay because Max is one of my closest friends. Now come on."

I led them to the base. Then knocked on the door. Jerome answered.

"Oh, hey Skylar. What's up?"

"I found some people who'll help me convince Fred to let me stay here. You in?"

"Of course!"

We walked towards Max's room because I knew that he would know where Fred's room was. I opened the door and heard Tanya whisper, "Fred's room?" I shook my head no. Max saw me and ran over to me.

"Skylar!" he hugged me. I pushed him off.

"Max. Where's Fred's room?"

"Just across the hall. Why?"

"We're going to try to get him to let me stay here."

"I'm helping too."

As we were walking to Fred's room, I bumped into Lance. He asked what we were doing and I explained it to him. 

"Anything for you, my sweet!" He said.

I thrust open the door to Fred's room and whispered to Tanya, "Fred's room."

Fred was just sitting on his couch and saw us squeeze into the room. Suddenly, everyone started screaming protests at him. He probably didn't understand what any of them were saying though, because it was all at the same time. I felt a hand on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw that it was Jerome. He looked at me, and I became lost in his sparkling eyes. But then he yelled, "Quiet!" and everyone turned to him. Jerome only looked at Fred. "See how many people want her here? You have to let her stay!" He pulled me close.

"Fine, fine. She can stay." Fred said grudgingly.

"And me too!" piped up Brian.

"You're a boy, why wouldn't I let you stay?" Fred asked. Brian shrugged. We all walked back. "Skylar! Other boy dressed as Steve! Get back here!" Brian and I rushed back. "Brian, you can sleep in the basement. There's already a bed, a chest, a furnace, a crafting table, a couch, and some bookshelves." Brian ran out to find his bedroom. Fred turned toward me. "Where do you want to sleep?"

"Can't I just keep sleeping in Max's room?"

"Nope. Part of the deal of you staying here is that you can't sleep with Max. I'll let you sleep with Lance, Connor, that Steve kid, or Jerome."

I thought about it. Lance is....creepy. Connor is....weird. Brian....barely ever talked to him before. That left Jerome.

"Jerome I guess?" I said hesitantly. 

Fred smirked. "I'll go see if he's okay with that." This is gonna be awkward. I thought.

~Time Skip a 1/2 Hour~

"Thanks for letting me stay here." I said.

"No problem!" Jerome said cheerfully. We were moving my bed from Max's room to Jerome's. Max didn't see because he, Fred, Connor, Brian and Lance were eating dinner. Once the bed was moved to Jerome's room, we joined dinner. Someone had prepared melon and pumpkin pie. We all ate happily, because the meal was delicious.

After dinner, Jerome and I walked back to our room. Huh. Our room. Our's. It sounded strange to think that.

I snuggled into bed and watched as Jerome put out the torches' flames. Then I heard him shuffling back to bed. I closed my eyes and relaxed my person, soon falling into a deep sleep.
